...issue, however, Miller saved himself from the kind of attack that can never be completely countermanded. He announced that the deed to his $60,000 Bethesda, Md., home had been subject to an anti-Negro covenant before he owned it. He bought the house ten years after the Supreme Court's 1948 decision voiding all such clauses. This was entirely different from the situation he had publicized in Austin, Texas, where an anti-Negro clause was inserted in the deed to property Lyndon and Lady Bird sold three years before the Supreme Court decision...
...Clause. Before 4,000 delegates to the Texas Republican Convention in Austin, Miller waved a 1938 deed for 20 parcels of land outside Austin bought by Lady Bird and Lyndon Johnson with no restrictions of any sort. The Johnsons still own much of the land -now a valuable tract on Lake Austin surrounded by prosperous-looking homes. But in 1945, said Miller, the Johnsons sold seven lots of that property, and at that time a new clause was inserted in the deed-prohibiting "any person or persons of African descent" from occupying the property except as domestic servants...
...Matter of Record." The White House responded with disdain, said the President couldn't be expected to recall the contents of a deed 19 years old and that, anyway, he "is flatly opposed to any such restrictions-and this is a matter of record."

But that should not have surprised anyone who has studied Johnson's record and knows that his championship of civil rights is of relatively recent vintage. During his first ten years in Congress, he voted four times against doing away...
Ruby also had trouble mentioning the name of the man he had killed: "Very rarely do I use the name Oswald. I don't know why." But once past this obstacle, he could be clear in his insistence that the deed was solely his own: "I was never malicious toward this person. No one else requested me to do anything. I never spoke to anyone about attempting to do anything. No subversive organization gave me any idea. No underworld person made any effort to contact me . . . The last thing I read was that Mrs. Kennedy may have to come...
...financial interests,* says that no Johnson family member has a direct interest in the company. Yet an example of Brazos-Tenth's complicated intertwining with the Johnsons turned up in early 1962. On Feb. 1 the LBJ Co. sold some subdivided lots to Brazos-Tenth. The deed was signed by J. C. Kellam, president of the LBJ Co., and by Donald Thomas, the LBJ Co. secretary. Before the day was over, essentially the same real estate package was sold by Brazos-Tenth to Lyndon Johnson himself. Again Donald Thomas signed the deed-this time as president of Brazos-Tenth...
